GBP/USD Price Forecast: Holds position above 1.3000 with testing yearly highs

  • GBP/USD tests a yearly high of 1.3044 level, marked on July 17.
  • The momentum indicator 14-day RSI is positioned slightly below 70 level, suggesting a potential correction soon.
  • The pair may navigate the area around the lower boundary of the ascending channel at the 1.2950 level.

GBP/USD halts its four-day winning streak, trading around 1.3020 during Wednesday’s Asian session. The daily chart analysis shows the pair is trending upwards within an ascending channel pattern, suggesting a bullish bias.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator suggests bullish momentum, as the MACD line is above the centreline and shows divergence above the signal line. Additionally, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) consolidates slightly below 70 level, suggesting a potential correction in the short term.

For resistance, the GBP/USD pair is testing a yearly high of 1.3044 level, reached on July 17. A break above this level could lead the pair to explore the region around the upper boundary of the ascending channel at 1.3100 level.

On the downside, the GBP/USD pair may navigate the area around the lower boundary of the ascending channel at the 1.2950 level, followed by the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at the 1.2924 level. A break below the latter could guide the pair toward the throwback support at the 1.2615 level, noted in June.
